I majored in Mandarin Chinese back in college (many years ago...) and also studied Chinese at Tunghai University in Taiwan. I have excellent pronunciation, and can help you also master Mandarin pronunciation, as well as grammar, sentence structure, reading and writing, etc.
About Ian

*** Lesson Details ***
I am very laid back and friendly, and I want you or your child to be as comfortable as possible during our lessons. You or your child will develop confidence and musical intelligence. I will make your lessons fun, enjoyable, and effective. Boredom is not an option! Music is fun... let's keep it that way.
The teaching methods I use will be custom-tailored to your individual needs, personality and specific musical goals. If it's guitar or piano you want to learn, I want to get you playing exactly what you want to be playing as soon as possible. That's what you're here for, and that's what I'm here for. I will make it happen. If it's songwriting that you want to learn, I will help you access that place inside of you that is dying to express itself creatively, and will teach you techniques to harness that energy and translate it successfully into musical expression.
You can expect to learn all the basics of music theory, proper playing techniques, improvisation and spontaneous musical expression, and I will help you develop your "ear" so you can figure out songs you like just by listening to them. This is all about you and your goals, and I want you to achieve them in a fun and engaging way.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Living room: Upright piano, guitars, amps, keyboard, percussion
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in pop, rock, classical, jazz, blues, folk, fingerstyle (guitar), etc. I also teach improvisation and songwriting, and try to develop the student's ear for figuring out songs they like on their own.

About Tammy Y.Close
Being from Singapore, I am fluent in both English and Mandarin. I can read, write and speak at a bilingual, native proficiency in both languages. I primary speak English at home, but studied mandarin for over 10 years in school. I'll start by teaching your basic intonations, sentences, and even some idioms to spice things up! Mandarin is a musical language that's quickly taking over the world, you'll have lots of fun learning this language.
About Tammy
I believe EVERYONE should have the opportunity to learn music, especially children, in a fun and enjoyable way! As someone who grew up around music (my mother is a music teacher!) I wish to give that chance to others.
I started playing the piano at around the age of four, and helped out as a substitute teacher at my mother's music school back in Singapore while in High School. I left shortly after to pursue music at Berklee College of Music, where I graduated summa cum laude in August 2013 with a Bachelor's of Music in Piano Performance and Contemporary Writing and Production!
My students range from as 3.5 years old, to the grandmother of a couple of my students. I wo
Everyone is different - and I personally take the time and effort to develop and customize my lessons and materials for each student. I'll push you (a little!), to make you realize just how much you can do!
Music is an all-rounded experience. Not only can I offer you a chance to learn how to play different styles of piano, from jazz to pop to classical, but I can also teach you how to write your own songs, arrange them, and perhaps (if you like) record them!

I have also been a Chinese teacher at Chinese school of South Jersey for over three years. In school, I love to create my students an active, interesting environment to learn.

I have tutored varied ages of students from seven years old to 60 years old. Two of my tutoring students even have been working with me more than two years.

About Wankun X.Close
Hi. I'm Chinese and I moved to the US when I was in six grade. Even through I stayed here for a long time I still use Chinese in day to day basis and I'm still completely fluent. In my lessons you will expect to learn how to speak mandarin by learning the pinyin (拼音) system and how to write chinese.
About Wankun
My whole life is filled with music. I started piano lessons since I was 5. After I moved to America (I was born in China) I had some violin lessons. In freshman year I joined school band. I'm still in band, playing flute in marching band and oboe in wind ensemble.
Music is an expression. It can be happy and light, or dramatical and full of sorrow. We need basic skills to approach a sound, but music is more than that. Music is when you give a sound a meaning, a feeling, and a heartbeat that makes it alive.
Different genre speaks and expresses differently. Personally I really enjoy indie (TØP!) and musicals. But no matter wha
I look forward to teach you the basic skills and share my journey of exploring music with you!
Please understand that I'll only travel within NYC. I will not travel to New Jersey.

About Mindi Z.Close
I am from Hangzhou, China, and this is my fifth year in the United States. I graduated from the University of Ilinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I earned double degrees in History and East Asian Languages and Civilization. As a native Chinese speaker, what's unique about me as a mandarin teacher is that I am well adapted to all levels of language learners, and my education in EALC, a major that focuses heavily on language teaching makes me well informed about the most effective pedagogical method for teaching Chinese.
About Mindi
A native of Hangzhou, China, I am a historian studying modern East Asian History in the United States. Instead of giving students tedious, boring lecture, my teaching style is characterized by lively interaction between the student and me, and I am skillful at asking thought-provoking questions and let the students find the answers by themselves, whilst I play the role of a guide and a friend. I believe this is the best and most efficient way to help students improve.
I have well-prepared class

About Kevin W.Close

I am fluent in Mandarin Chinese. Within the first few lessons, you'll start speaking simple sentences/ phrases and as time goes on, you'll be able to perfect your tones! I typically use practice books and have worksheets. I love working with students of all experience levels. Speaking is very important as much as reading/ recognizing characters. You'll be able to practice writing the characters the right way.
About Kevin
As a pianist, I like to play classical, covers from movies, video games, and pop. I love to mentor students who want to become proficient in picking up any sheet music and start playing it.
My personal passion is music from movies and shows but I firmly believe that having great technique is essential to any kind of style of music. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to become a better musician!

PARIS — There is a place for logic. For common sense. For reason.
But not on Saturday afternoons in Paris. Not when a breeze blows off the Seine and the sun ignites the red-clay center court at Roland Garros, and Chris Evert Lloyd, in the autumn of a championship career that has slipped to runner-up status, tosses a tennis ball into the air to begin what could be her final French Open match.
At such moments, logic is prone to check out. A good thing. Because logically, Evert, 30, should never have won this year`s French Open title, should never have monkey-wrenched the machine that is Martina Navratilova in Grand Slam combat.
But she did. And the roar when her final shot skirted past Navratilova`s outstretched racket wasn`t only for her athletic prowess.
No. This was a win for everyone who has had to take a small step backward, for every aging laborer who has been told a younger man can now do a better job, for every ex-teen queen whose jeans are now uncomfortably snug.
On Saturday, Evert -- who has gone through her own such metamorphosis in the past two years -- was a slice of vindication, just as she was a setback to the doomsayers of reason who claimed she couldn`t win. They were there at Roland Garros too, faithfully reciting their facts and figures: ``Remember, Martina is the No. 1 player in the world. . . Martina is the best player in the game on clay. . . Martina has beaten Chris 15 of their last 16 matches. . . Martina is younger. . . Martina the Mighty, Martina the Invincible, Martina the Automatic. . . .`` It was all you could do to convince them the final would last more than 45 minutes.
No matter. Logic was on holiday, remember? Other forces were at work here, some perhaps a little spooky. Just seconds before the match began, a sudden gust blew clouds of red off the clay surface, enveloping Evert in a private, miniature dust storm. She stood there as it whipped around her with her eyes squinted shut, a strange half-smile on her face, as if there was something magic in the particles that settled on her shoulders and in her hair. Who knows? But when the dust cleared, she was vintage Chris -- patient, accurate, keeping Navratilova deep and poking passing shots crosscourt and down the line.

Welcome to our home ...
Easton Court Barns date back to the late seventeen hundreds.
We discovered them in a derelict state in 2002. Over the following six years it took an enormous amount of time and devotion to create the end result which we are very proud of.
The hamlet of Easton is a hidden Gem in the South Hams. So quiet and secluded yet only 2.5 miles from Salcombe and 1.5 miles from Kingsbridge along the back lanes.
We therefore hope that you enjoy it and the wonderful surrounding area which we love so much.

This was the first Link Monster revealed in the OCG/TCG, as well as the first Link Monster to be Summoned in the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime.
This monster and Firewall Dragon are the first ace monsters of a spin-off protagonist whose Type is neither Dragon nor Warrior, thus breaking the pattern of the spin-off protagonists' ace monsters (though Decode Talker does resemble a Warrior and Firewall Dragon does resemble a Dragon, so they only break the pattern semantically).
It is also the first time a protagonist uses a newly created Type (in this case, Cyberse).
This card eventually being replaced by the 2500 ATK Firewall Dragon as Yusaku's ace monster mirrors Jaden Yuki's Elemental HERO Flame Wingman, who eventually got replaced by the 2500 ATK Elemental HERO Neos, Yusei Fudo's Junk Warrior, who eventually got replaced by the 2500 ATK Stardust Dragon, and Yuya Sakaki's Odd-Eyes Dragon, who was replaced by Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon.
This is mirrors Yusei Fudo more as both their ace monsters are replaced from a warrior type(or warrior like) monster to a monster with Dragon in its name.
Decode Talker and Junk Warrior are also both monsters with 2300 ATK and effects that boost their ATK through ally monsters.
This card's second effect is similar to that of Stardust Dragon. Both sacrifice something to protect cards on the field.
However, Decode Talker is used more often than Firewall Dragon.
Along with Code Talker as a base form, this monster has several counterparts.
EARTH: Transcode Talker
FIRE: Powercode Talker
LIGHT: Encode Talker
WATER: Shootingcode Talker
WIND: Excode Talker
This monster appears in the artworks of Recoded Alive, Link Restart,Limit Code, Urgent Link, and Dimension Link.
This card can be viewed as a personification of Yusaku because it gains power by using others to achieve its goals (similar to how Yusaku views Ai as a tool for his ends).
Furthermore, its effect that requires sacrificing a monster it is Linked to for the safety of its allies is similar to how Yusaku wouldn't hesitate to delete Ignis if the Knight of Hanoi didn't stop his destruction of LINK VRAINS.
OCG Rulings
The effect "Gains 500 ATK for each monster it points to." is a Continuous Effect. (If the number of monsters this card points to changes, the gained ATK also changes immediately.): Decode Talker
While "Decode Talker" is in the Extra Monster Zone, it gains ATK even if there is a monster in your opponent's Main Monster Zone pointed by its Link Arrows.
The effect "When your opponent activates a card or effect that targets a card(s) you control (Quick Effect): You can Tribute 1 monster this card points to; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card." is a Quick Effect. (It can also be activated during the Damage Step.)
The effect "negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card." does not target. It is activated directly in Chain to the activation of an opponent's Spell/Trap Card, the activation of the effect of an opponent's Spell/Trap Card, or the activation of an opponent's monster effect, that targets a card(s) you control.
Tributing 1 of your monsters pointed by this card's Link Arrows is a cost to activate the effect "negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.". (While "Decode Talker" is in the Extra Monster Zone, even if there is a monster in your opponent's Main Monster Zone pointed by its Link Arrows, that opponent's monster cannot be Tributed as a cost.)

Hi jojosmom,
I'm Aliza, a BC patient and Medical Librarian. I'm extremely interested in your question and will definitely have to research it because I've been on Wellbutrin for about 15 years. I've been on Tamoxifen about a month. My oncologist never said a word to me and she certainly has my list of meds and I'm being treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering, so a bit later today I know what I'm doing. If I find anything, you'll be the second to know (after me...;)).
Thanks for bringing this interesting topic up to my attention. By the way, I had read re Tamoxifen on the package insert that weight loss was a side effect, so I was happy about that, if that give you comfort...;)
Warm Wishes,

Who said living life is easy? Because it looks beautiful and smooth from outside but it is a rocky and hard journey which every single human being have to bear. Life is a combination of all happiness, sadness, loss and gain. Some people recover fast from loss and sadness but other's take a lot of effort and struggle to get back to normal. Well, mostly people do recover but some cannot. It does not matter how hard they try they cannot forget such specific events in their life which makes them sad and gloomy. And because of that they fell victim to depression. When we hear depression we think how hard can it be? Is it a real disease even? It cannot be life threatening or can it be? Things like that occurs in our mind. We do not our full attention to people living around us or roaming around us, do we really think about other person sorrows even in our family. Do we? Today, human being have become selfish, according to every individual their problem is the biggest! This is not so true open your eyes and mind and look around there can be people whom are suffering from depression and even do not know about this. It can be anybody, your family, friends or co-workers. The main and social reason I think that detecting depression makes hard is that today people communicate but through social media like facebook, what's app and twitter. We get to know about people mind state through their social media status. Isn't this ironic? People do not talk about their problems openly with other individual. This is the main social reason why more and more people are falling prey to depression nowadays.
What is Depression?
According to Wikipedia, Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity or apathy that can affect a person thoughts, behavior, feelings and a sense of well- being. But to put it in simple words. Depression is a serious health issue that impacts the brain. People who are not suffering from depression to may say that this is all imaginary or relax…this is just a phase and it will pass. And all that positive shit! The thing that people forget is that we all are human being and it is impossible to stay happy and optimistic all the freaking time! You are allowed to be normal it's your life. But depression is not at all imaginary. It do exist.
Depression is more than a feeling. It is a serious problem and it happens when the chemistry of your brain gets affected. People who are depressed can and do feel sad, anxious, empty, hopeless, guilty, helpless, worthless, irritable and ashamed or restless. They may lose interest in doing stuff or will not do any activity, they will not find anything pleasurable for example: when an individual is depressed they stop eating even their favorite food or will not do anything which was once their favorite thing to do.
A person suffering from depression will may experience loss in appetite or overeating, will have problem in concentrating on anything, will find it hard to make any kind of decision and will keep on forgetting things, may experience difficulties in their relationships, can even attempt to die or suicide, will have no aim or desire to live anymore.
Other things that a depressed person will face is they will find it hard to sleep leading to insomnia or excessive sleeping, fatigue ( feeling tired all the time ), aches, pain, can have digestive problems, or may feel low on energy even after eating healthy food or after a long sleep. Basically, a depressed person will be lost in his/her own house.
Depression is a common problem
According to, World Health Organisation depression is one of the most common and disabling disorders in the world, and it affects roughly one in five women and one in ten men at some point in their life. Depression can happen to anyone, it does not matter if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, an adult or children or even old. Every single individual have to go through depression once in their life but it is very rare that depression happens twice to the same person. What matters is that the person is able to fight depression or not? This is the only thing that matters. Depression can be more serious if it is combined with other diseases like diabetes, stroke or any kind of heart problem, cardiovascular diseases, or other related problems like anxiety etc etc.
Causes of depression
What are the causes of depression? scientist agrees that depression is a brain disorder but still the debate on the causes of depression does not stop or come to any final conclusion. There are many causes of depression and we are going to discuss every single of it. To start with:
Life Events
There are some serious things or feelings which can lead to depression in your adult life. These include adversity in childhood, such as bereavement, neglect, mental abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, unequal parenting. These are the reasons of depression in a person's life out of these sexual and physical abuse are the most major reasons. Parents often to be strict hit their children and they are not doing anything wrong! But they forget that every person is different some child do recover and forget but some may not which gives your child a horrific picture of their childhood which remains with them for the rest pf their lives. And as far as unequal parenting goes this is another huge not knowingly mistake of every modern parent and this generally occurs in every house.
Apart from these sexual abuse is a serious problem and issue, parents should support their children going throughout and until they recover from this.
There are some changes and life events which also cause depression like child birth, menopause, financial difficulties, unemployment, work stress, medical diagnoses ( such as HIV, cancer etc ), bullying, loss or death of a loved one, natural disasters, social isolation, rape, relationship troubles, jealousy, separation, and catastrophic injury. Teenagers are most affected by social rejection which leads them to depression and due to peer pressure and bullying too.
Certain medicines also lead to depression and have caused troubles for some patients. These include medications for hepatitis c such as interferon, anxiety and sleep such as benzodiazepines, high blood pressure such as beta clockers and reserpine, hormonal treatment such as corticosteroids and contraceptives.
Non-psychiatric diseases
Depression can happen because of other health issues also such as nutritional deficiencies, neurological conditions, and psychological conditions including hypoandrogenism, Adisson's disease, Cusshing's disease, Lyme disease, Parkinson's disease, chronic pain, stroke, diabetes and cancer.
Personal factors

Family history
Depression can also run in a family, shocking! right but it is true like other diseases depression can also run in family and a person might be at greater risk for having depression if it runs in the family. But does it not mean that if any of your relatives have depression you will also have it.
Some people can have depression because of their personality. Specifically if they worry a lot or overthink. Other traits of personality which can be at greater risk of having depression are low self-esteem, sensitive to criticism, self critical and negative.

In this type of depression people can hear or see things which other people do not. Major depressive disorder can affect a person personal life also, his or her work life etc. In this people are generally treated by counselling and anti- depressants. Medications are effective and can prove to be beneficial but only for a short period of time. Types of counselling try or use methods including interpersonal therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Atypical depression
Atypical depression is also known as the depression with atypical feature, this depression can be improved by taking part in positive events. Features of atypical depression include significant weight gain or an increased appetite, hypersomnia, a heavy sensation in the limbs. It is not unusual or uncommon.

Following are the main symptoms of atypical depression:
- Mood brightens in response to positive events.
- And at least two of the following:
- 1. Significant weight loss or gain.

This type of depression is a chronic syndrome that tends to become earlier in life than other forms of depression. It usually begins in teenage and keeps on increasing. An individual suffering from atypical depression is more likely to have some serious mental issues like personality disorder, anxiety disorders such as borderline personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder, and obsessive- compulsive disorder.
Dysthymia also known as neurotic depression, dysthymic disorder, or chronic depression, is simply a mood disorder. This type of depression consists same cognitive and physical problems as in "just" depression with less severe but long lasting symptoms. This whole concept came in to light by Robert Spitzer in the late 1970's as a replacement of the term "Depressive personality". Dysthymia is a serious state of chronic depression which lasts for two years ( one for childerns and adolscents ). This type of depression is less dangerous than major depressive disorder.

What happens in this is that first of all it happens to normal people. A normal person who gets depressed on a particular or specific period of time every year. For example: Imagine there is a girl name, Rosie who is perfectly normal like any other person, but she gets depressed or fall prey to depression in summers only or in winters only or both! But people suffering from this gets depression mostly in winters. Understood! Earlier this type of depression was not recognized but over the years this condition is recognized as a common disorder.
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine notes that or says that "some people experience a serious mood change when the season changes". They may sleep too much, have little energy and may feel depressed. People who have this condition in summers gets or can also face high level of anxiety.

Do your research on depression, get to know what kind of depression you have. Once you are cleared as to what kind of depression you are going through, learn about it and get a hold on yourself.
After knowing about the depression, find the right kind of treatment for yourself.

23 & 24 March, 10.00-17.00.
Derek Reay specializes in the production of large pinhole photographs using whole rooms as cameras,
although on this workshop students will use a variety of different boxes to make their pinhole cameras.
Using a small hole instead of a lens can produce stunningly beautiful images, whose main
characteristic is soft focus, although more extreme cameras can introduce an element of distortion
and light non-uniformity, both of which can add an artistic element to the picture.
Students will make their own cameras (using more or less any box) noting the critical nature of the pinhole.
Cost for two days including materials for making the camera, taking the pictures and making
prints £250 including Derek Reay's book on pinhole photography.

Seeking Talented US Writers- Start Today
Bütçe $30-250 USD
I'm seeking experienced writers in the US to help on a few review projects at this time. Here's a rundown of the assignments-
- Average 750 to 1,000 words in each article.
- Good research skills. This info is easy to find but you'll likely use 2-3 sites at once.
- Follow a pre-designed format so every page looks the same from multiple writers.
- Have a social tone within your writing since you're speaking to a motivated audience.
- Write with perfect sentence structure and grammar...no exceptions here.
- Know the basics of SEO...most people say they do but they really have no idea.
- Be able to complete 1-5 articles daily for the next few weeks.
- Be able to remain in contact daily through phone and email (US writers only this round)
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in and you are a stand-out writer, please give me a one paragraph explanation on how websites are ranked on the Internet. I'm only looking for professionals and I'm willing to start people today, but I have to see this custom sample so I know that you can follow instructions and that you can actually write. No other samples of previous work are required; I'll be able to make a decision on you solely off your 1st few sentences. The right candidates will have almost unlimited work in the future but you'll have to prove that you're dependable 1st.
A few other things to tell me-
- Your 1st name
- Which US state you live in
- Your custom sample
- How many 750 word articles you could handle daily/weekly
- Your typical writing/online hours
- Your bid on five 750-1000 word articles (it varies due to bullets/one line facts)
I'm sorry, but I will have to reject all bids from outside the US at this time due to my company's wishes. A few jerks on here that resell jobs to others and try to lie to/scam employers basically ruined it for everyone outside the US...it is truly unfortunate that these types of issues exist on GAF but they are outside of my control.

Ringgit opens lower against US dollar
Posted on 6 October 2017 - 11:13am
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened lower against the US dollar today ahead of the release of US Jobs Report, later today.
At 9am, the local currency traded at 4.2330/2360 against the greenback from 4.2270/2300 recorded at 6pm yesterday.
FXTM Research Analyst Lukman Otunuga said dollar clawed back some of its losses after stronger-than- expected US data supported expectations of a US interest rate hike before year-end.
"Sentiment towards the US economy received another boost on Wednesday after the Non-Manufacturing Purchasing Manager Index came in at 59.8 in September, the highest reading since August 2005.
"With growth in the US service sector hitting a 12-year high last month, the outlook for the US economy continues to look encouraging for the second half of 2017," he said.
The local note, however, was traded higher against other major currencies today.
It strengthened against the Singapore dollar to 3.0997/1035 from Thursday's 3.1026/1060 and inched up against the yen to 3.7507/7543 from 3.7533/7563 yesterday.
The ringgit rebounded against the euro to 4.9564/9604 from 4.9722/9762 on Thursday and improved against the British pound to 5.5461/5513 from 5.5767/5823 yesterday. — Bernama

Michelle Obama, sitting next to Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas on the "The Tonight Show" last week, decided to bully the young girl about her diet. When queried by host Jay Leno, Douglas allowed that after she won her gold-medals in London she celebrated by "splurg[ing] on an Egg McMuffin at McDonald's."
The First Lady couldn't stomach that. Smiling while she stuck the knife in, she said smoothly, "No Gabby, we don't … don't encourage him to eat that. I'm sure it was on a whole wheat muffin. You're setting me back, Gabby."
The First Lady wasn't about to miss an opportunity to remind viewers of her commitment to end childhood obesity in America. But her bullying of Douglas goes farther than a simple chiding of a young teenager. It's all part of a campaign with a sinister ulterior motive that is largely ignored.
When the Obama Administration avers that they don't like the food that children are getting from home, and the schools can do a better job feeding them, who are the true beneficiaries of this state-run program? The answer, of course, is that the beneficiaries are the members of the Obama-loyal Service Employees International Union. 400,000 workers presently prepare and serve lunch to American schoolchildren. Tens of thousands of those workers are SEIU and the union wants to unionize all of them.
Not only was the First Lady out of line by embarrassing Douglas on national TV, but Mary Ann Johnson, a professor of Food and Nutrition at UGA, said Douglas was doing it right:
[The sandwich] was a good choice for an athlete who burns thousands of calories a day. She is also still growing as a young woman – she has a lot of high-calorie and high-protein needs.
There are some who question whether companies like McDonald's that produce fast food should be allowed to sponsor the Olympics, since their product is "unhealthy." Connie Crawley, a registered dietician who additionally serves as senior public service associate and extension nutrition and health specialist at UGA, said, "Companies who serve low-nutrition foods sponsoring people who are trying to be healthy and fit … there's a contradiction there. You do have to step back and [ask if] this is a good message to send to the American people, especially American young people."
It is highly doubtful that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will let the nanny state bully them into refusing the kind of dough McDonald's can offer; the fast food giant poured $100 million into the London Olympics.
But if the nanny state can't bully the old men of the IOC, perhaps the First Lady can. When she's on a mission, she doesn't even flinch from bullying young girls.

I closed the door as softly as I'd stroked
My feet,
Shaped by decades, centuries of time.
I'm illuminated by prismatic light,
For a little while at least.
Murmurs echo and collide.
Now I'm standing outside in the cold.
That chill doesn't go away.
An unwanted dog tethered by his owner,
nothing left to offer.
The frigid air reminds me of when you left.
There's a softness in my memory.
One thing remains the same though,
Just wait,

Culham Nursery (Puffins) is our Foundation Stage Unit. This class is made up of Reception and Nursery children.
Reception means your child celebrates their 5th birthday during the current academic year (1st September 2016 - 31st August 2017) and Nursery means your child celebrates their 4th birthday during the current academic year (1st September 2016 - 31st August 2017)
Culham Nursery class (Puffins) has 10 places available in the morning. Your child is eligible to attend Nursery from the term after their 3rd birthday. We offer 5, three hour morning sessions fully funded per week. Please see information below regarding Early Years 30 hours entitlement.
Please visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk for further information regarding funding entitlement and eligibility.
Please read the Nursery Prospectus and use the enrolment form to apply for a place (sending these to the school office: firstname.lastname@example.com)
Learning and Teaching in the Foundation Unit:
It is our aim to provide a safe and secure, learning environment where children thrive on the carefully planned activities and rich learning opportunities provided. The curriculum is play based with a balance of child initiated and adult focused activities. The staff team work closely together to plan and deliver a curriculum that matches and extends the abilities of each individual child.
We will be running each day within a routine which involves opportunities for the children to access independent activities; when they choose what they want to play with, adult focussed activities; led by an adult and building on key skill areas for small groups of children, indoor and outdoor learning; each child will be able to access both indoor and outdoor areas throughout the day (whatever the weather – within reason), carpet time; adult led large group activities including, stories, singing, games, and music making.
Moving on:
Even though the Puffin Class is very much part of Culham Parochial Primary School, your child's attendance does not guarantee a place within the main school.
For this you need to apply to the Local Authority during the Autumn Term (Sept – Dec) of the academic year that your child turns 4 years old. Forms are available on the 'Oxfordshire County Council' website: www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/cms/public-site/starting-school
Please speak to a member of the office staff if you have any queries regarding this process.

Top Tools Which Can Come Handy During DIY Improvements
Whether you are trying to set up a handy man business or plan to take up some DIY home improvement projects, your tools are the key to success. If you have all the tools in place, you can be assured of a few things. Firstly, your project won't be stuck at any phase due to lack of proper tools. Secondly, if you have the right tools for the right job, you will save on both time and energy! Thirdly, you can minimize the frustration that comes along with tricky home projects and in fact enjoy the process of creating something on your own. With the right tools, you will always be proud of the ultimate results.
Knowing the basics and the ground rules
Before you go all out and pick up some power tools, it is essential to know the basics. These include pencils, measuring tapes, glasses, level, saw, hammer, assorted screwdrivers, pliers, utility blade, crescent wrench etc. Once you have these in place, it is time to go shopping for the big tools. You can have a tool belt to carry these basics around, as you will need them really often and chances of losing these small tools is also high.
Oscillating tools
An oscillating tool is the expert of many tasks. These include cutting, carving, polishing, cleaning, engraving and sanding. The best part is that it is an incredibly handy tool. It barely requires space and it allows you to perform small jobs quickly. Since it is a very popular tool, many brands are producing it and you can easily find one that will fit your budget. You can choose between cordless or corded tool depending upon your project needs. If there is no power source available at the site of construction, opt for a cordless one.
Cordless Drill
Perhaps the most overused tool in any project around the house is a power drill. If you manage to own a cordless drill, nothing can prove to a better asset to carry out your DIY chores. A cordless drill is a boon, especially when you are focusing on furniture items like making tables, chairs, bookshelves, cupboards, cabinets etc. When you purchase a cordless drill, focus on buying a lightweight model as a heavy drill can be difficult to use over long periods of time.
Nail Guns
Another important tool that can help you save loads of time is a nail gun. A nail gun works exactly like a stapler and works great when you have a furniture project at hand. Right from assembling the wood pieces together to fixing the upholstery, the nail gun can take care of it. It cuts down the time taken to make furniture and reduces effort negligibly.
Plumbing Tools
If you have taken up projects related to the kitchen sink or any bathrooms, you need special plumbing tools. These include a drain auger, pipe wrenches, torch, pipe cutter, pipe bender and solder. These tools will ensure there are no clogged up drains, leaky pipes and broken faucets.
These tools are like secret weapons a successful handyman carries and every successful DIY household hides from their friends.

- Automatic transmission
- 125,000 miles
: the contact stated while driving at no particular speed, the engine ran rough. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop for inspection and the mechanic determined the fuel injectors were blocked. The injectors were changed; however, the problem persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the repair shop where the injectors were cleaned. Again, the problem was apparent and the vehicle was taken back to the mechanic. During the last inspection, the mechanic determined the fuel lines were corroded due to road salt corrosion. The fuel lines were replaced and the problem was corrected.

Consumer states: The fuel return lines and fuel rails when they come apart the diesel and oil mix together and shoots out and coats the rear windshield. Also, coats the sides of the truck and all over the tailgate in very large amounts. This was 3rd time that took the vehicle to dealer and had it fixed.

Return to the Moon: for the right reasons, in the right way
by Rick Tumlinson
|NASA's human spaceflight program today is like an old ex-athlete who won the Olympics a long time ago. It is bloated, inflexible, self-indulgent, and lives on reruns of its better days.
We go to inspire. The most important thing we got out of Apollo was inspiration. It was a star of hope in the darkness of the Cold War. It was the reason I am in this field, and the same goes for many of you reading this. The Internet, telecommunications, the incredible advances in medicine and science, these breakthroughs are coming from organizations whose founders and investors were often born and raised during the Apollo program, and while its legacy was still fresh. If one looks at the numbers of engineers and science students graduated in the US, there is a clear correlation, and right now those numbers are falling, fast.
We go to prepare for even greater things. We cannot throw expendable humans at Mars without knowing what happens to a spacesuit in a high-radiation, high temperature differential, dirty vacuum after it's been worn and sweated in for six weeks. We need to learn how to operate off-planet, how to build for permanence and how to live off the land in space. Also, those who advocate a direct drive to Mars ignore a major historical fact—the colonies in North America could not have survived without the ports of England and Europe. The development of a strong Earth-LEO-Moon infrastructure, dominated by commercial enterprises, is a necessity, if humans-to-Mars is not to be another unsustainable flags and footprints fiasco or perennial taxpayer funded government housing project.
The "how?" of returning to the Moon partially determines the "why?" For example, if the timeline is too long, the budget too large, the end goal too amorphous, and the whole project is run by the usual suspects in the usual way, the end result will be an uninspiring, over-budget dead end like the International Space Station (ISS). To make a Return to the Moon permanent, inspiring, economical and beneficial to the taxpayers who pay for it all, we must do certain things:
First, we must ignore the whining of those who say they need a lot more money and time. We went from a standing start to standing on the Moon in under ten years—forty years ago! Keep in mind, when Kennedy asked the NASA of that time if it could be done, they told him no, and then they went and did it when ordered to.
Next, we must restructure NASA, as the agency in its current form cannot handle the job. The center-based structure of today must be ended and several non-relevant centers closed or handed over to other agencies. Activities such as aeronautics and Earth studies must be handed off to the FAA and NOAA. Planetary robotic exploration should be given to JPL and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
NASA must shed operational activities such as LEO transport and running the space station. The Orbital Space Plane should be canceled—now. Prizes, multiple source contracts, investment and tax incentives must be put in place to encourage the new "Alt.Space" firms to take over human transport to space, and drive the traditional aerospace giants to modernize or get out of the field. The space station should be mothballed, handed to our partners, or be taken over by a quasi-commercial Space Station Authority as a destination for commercial and university users. ISS and other NASA pet projects must not be grafted onto a moon project simply because they exist. If they really support it they are in, if not, they are out.
What is left should be divided into two parts. The first should be a lean mean human exploration machine that focuses on the "Lewis and Clark function" and acquiring or creating the lowest tech tools possible to travel and explore beyond the Earth. The second should be an agency like the old National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics from which NASA was created. Its job would be to push the envelope of space technologies and systems in support of our space industries.
|ISS and other NASA pet projects must not be grafted onto a moon project simply because they exist. If they really support it they are in, if not, they are out.
The new NASA would then be one of several players in any RTM project along with DOD, DARPA, NOAA, NSF, universities, and most importantly, the commercial sector. NASA will support planetary transportation systems development, scouting, surveying and pitching the first base camp, then others take over as the agency focuses on developing systems for Mars exploration—its next destination.
For a Moon base to survive and prosper, it must be built in the right spot, it must be robust, easy to operate at low cost, as self sufficient as possible and be easy to expand. The International Space Station is failing because it is in the wrong place, too delicate, too expensive to operate, and produces nothing of great value, scientific or commercial. To pay for the base we must combine a wide variety of income producing activities and services, such as those listed above. However, the people building the habitats after the first phase, operating the telescopes, and running the facility itself should not be government employees. The long-term lunar facilities should be designed and built by private firms in response to a short list of needs put out by the partners, with the US government leasing those it needs. Long term management of the base should be in the form of a Moon Base Authority to promote new activities, manage infrastructure, oversee safety, and enforce the law.
The bottom line is clear: We must return to the Moon, this time to stay!

I have good news for local liquor stores, if not house guests: I intend to take cocktailing seriously in 2010. Not just the consumption of cocktails, which I have taken seriously for some years now, but the creation of cocktails. As an expression of my seriousness, I have purchased The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks by David A. Embury, originally published in 1948, known among bartenders and Men's Journal editors everywhere as nothing less than the gospel of mixology. Embury was described by the esteemed Gary Regan, author of The Joy of Mixology, as "probably the most important cocktailian author of the 20th century" and "the man who took drinks apart, examined their inner soul, and carefully put them back together again." If any guy could give cocktailians a good name, this is he.
I have but begun my tutelage in the fine art of mixology, but I feel the strength of the calling. Embury says on page 33, in the "What, Then, Is a Cocktail" section,
The well-made cocktail is that most gracious of drinks. It pleases the senses. The shared delight of those who partake in common of this refreshing nectar breaks the ice of formal reserve. Taut nerves relax; taut muscles relax; tired eyes brighten; tongues loosen; friendships deepen; the whole world become a better place in which to live. But don't expect these results if you serve bitter drinks, syrupy drinks, watery drinks or drinks that taste like reconditioned tin.
Amen. Let there by cocktails, and let them not taste like reconditioned tin. I shall study at the side of this wise cocktailian, and report back with word of my progress.

We are world leaders in helping certification agencies select, procure and deploy technology for assessment such as on-screen testing, marking and e-portfolio systems.
Since 2000, we have been supporting certification agencies with design, procurement, delivery and evaluation of on-screen assessments.
AlphaPlus is a recognised leader in technology relating to qualifications, assessment and certification, including e-testing and e-portfolios systems, item banks and assessment authoring systems, adaptive testing, student performance monitoring systems, and back-office systems for certification agencies.
We support the technology cycle from conception to deployment and support: we advise on technology options, write specifications, manage procurements and vendor demonstration, provide training and capacity development, and manage technical implementation work for our clients.
In the UK our team has designed and deployed systems (working with vendors) for some of the largest and highest-stakes on-screen testing programmes. Internationally, we have written technical specifications and supported vendor selection processes for clients that include the Supreme Education Council in Qatar.
Design and Procurement of e-assessment
We offer our clients the benefits of:
- detailed understanding of the issues affecting the validity and reliability of assessments as they are moved from on-paper to on-screen delivery modes, including the move to on-screen marking and moderation processes
- global market knowledge of technology suppliers and their products to assist with effective procurement
Our work often starts with feasibility analysis – investigating the potential for moving established assessment programmes to on-screen testing, considering such issues as validity, comparability, reliability, practicability and fair access for all candidates. We write procurement specifications for technology systems and support activities such as market testing, piloting and implementation planning. We also provide due diligence support for organisations looking to acquire technology companies working in e-assessment.
Development and delivery of e-assessment
Our knowledge of e-assessment derives from practical knowledge of developing and delivering e-assessments ourselves. We provide the following services to clients in e-testing:
- training and capacity building in the planning and use of e-assessment
- development of large banks of assessment items for delivery on-screen, including complex items based on simulation and use of in-test applications such as word processors and spreadsheets
- managing quality assurance, test trialling and calibration activities
- supporting the roll-out of e-testing and e-marking
Evaluation of e-assessment
Ensuring that on-screen testing and marking are working reliably and fairly for candidates is an important quality assurance requirement for certification agencies. As part of our wider work on performance management of assessment, we provide support for essential assessment monitoring to a variety of academic, professional and vocational certification bodies.
E-assessment programmes that we have worked on
Our team have contributed to the following e-assessment programmes:
- UK Driving Standards Agency theory tests
- UK Home Office, Life in the UK tests
- on-screen GCSE, Basic Skills and Functional Skills tests for UK awarding organisations
- vocational qualifications tests for Saudi Skills Standards
- school testing systems for the Supreme Education Council in Qatar
- landscape reviews of e-assessment cost-effectiveness, comparability and reliability for Ofqual, DfE and Becta
- delivery of national surveys of adult English and mathematics for BIS
- assessments for the Chartered Institute of Taxation and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants
- JISC's programme of support for higher education providers delivering e-assessment
Example projects
Client: Saudi Skills Standards
Project: Workplace e-assessment
We are developing workplace assessment for a range of vocational qualifications for delivery in on-the-job training programmes in Saudi Arabia.
Client: Chartered Institute of Taxation
Project: SecurePDF
We provide a number of certification agencies, including CIOT, with technology to deliver secure examination papers electronically direct to centres.
Client: Various UK AOs
Project: Functional Skills
We develop on-screen assessments for a number of UK AOs for Functional Skills (English, maths and ICT) on-screen testing.
Client UK Government Business Innovation and Skills
Projects: Adult skills surveys in English and maths
We provide on-screen assessments and delivery systems for use in national skills surveys and monitoring projects.

I finally finished Piglet's Quiet Book! Oh my goodness! It took forever. But I am so happy with it. If you've never heard of a quiet book, it's basically a felt book with different activities that are designed to keep your toddler quiet during times where being loud isn't good; i.e. church.
There are a lot of Bible-themed ones on the web but they are incredibly detailed, so I went for an easier version with just activities. All the patterns (with the exception of the dog page) are from Imagine Our Life.
My book only has 10 pages but she has tons. It was hard to choose which ones to do! But luckily, the binding of the book is a couple rings so I can always add more pages if I'm feeling froggy.
I had a hard time figuring out how to actually use the grommets, so I sat on the project for a little bit because I had no clue how they worked and I wondered if I had just wasted a ton of time. But luckily, I figured it out and I finished the book.
So, here we go!
This is the first page, a dinosaur and a baby. The egg lifts up to reveal a baby.
The little owl is on a ribbon and comes out the tree, there's also a little bird hidden on the tree. On the dog page, the dog can come out and eat his food and water.
The socks all come out of the washer and have magnets in them. It's a fun matching game.
There's a bead counting page, up to the number 6. And then the mailbox is full of letters that you can pull out and play with.
All the animals in the train are little finger puppets.
And finally a little winter page, the seal is just for looks and the penguin is also on a string and can leave his igloo.
So, there is it. It's super cute. My husband even wants to play with it too.
I am so happy I stuck with the project because I think it turned out great.
And Piglet loves it.
